Music: Sadly, you missed your chance to go to an R.E.M. mecca.
- A fire destroyed the Georgia Theatre. The theater, best-known for hosting the seeds of the Athens, Ga. music scene that birthed, among others, R.E.M. and the B-52s, was gutted this morning. R.E.M. still had a heavy interest in the 600-seat theater, hosting album release parties there. In a statement, they wished owner Wilmont Greene best of luck in rebuilding the landmark. source
